Lactation Amenorrhea Method (LAM) is a natural family planning method that uses breastfeeding to prevent pregnancy.

To use LAM, the woman needs to exclusively breastfeed her infant under six months old and not have her period back.

The baby only receives breast milk and no other liquids or foods, excluding essential medications like vitamins or antibiotics.

The woman is not having her menstrual cycle yet. Spotting in the first few weeks after birth doesn't count.

LAM's effectiveness decreases after six months postpartum, as ovulation resumes in many women.

LAM stops ovulation, the release of eggs from the ovaries.

If any of the criteria is not met, it is no longer considered LAM, and other methods of family planning should be used.

It's a natural method free of hormones, devices, or interventions, but it only works under specific conditions.

Using a condom incorrectly can lead to failure. Mistakes include not pressing the tip, wearing it inside-out, and stretching/pulling it, which weakens the latex.

Some men experience decreased sensitivity when using condoms.

Before using a condom, check the expiration date and ensure it's not damaged. After ejaculation, hold the base of the penis while withdrawing to prevent it from slipping off.

Progestin-only pills are a type of hormonal contraception that uses only progestin, a synthetic hormone similar to progesterone, to prevent pregnancy.

Cervical caps and diaphragms prevent sperm from passing through the cervix. They are more effective with spermicide.

There are two main types of POPs: 1. Lynestrenol (0.5 mg) 2. Desogestrel (75 ug)

Copper IUDs prevent fertilization by releasing copper ions that decrease sperm motility and function. This prevents sperm from reaching the egg.

There are two main types of IUDs: copper-bearing and hormone-releasing. Copper-bearing IUDs include the TCu380A (Copper T), Multiload, and Nova T. Hormone-releasing IUDs have levonorgestrel, like Mirena®.

If you are menstruating, you can start taking POPs within the first five days of your menstrual cycle, preferably on the first day. This ensures maximum effectiveness.

If you are not menstruating, you can start taking POPs at any time of your cycle, but only if you are reasonably sure you are not pregnant. If you are not within the first five days, use a backup method for the next two days.

Copper IUDs, like TCu380A, are effective for at least 12 years and have a less than 1% pregnancy rate.

If you miss one or more POP pills, you may experience spotting or breakthrough bleeding, and your risk of pregnancy increases. Restart taking the pills as soon as possible.

Copper IUDs should be replaced or removed 12 years after insertion, even though the FDA approval is for 10 years.

If you missed taking your pills for more than three hours, use a barrier method of contraception for the next 48 hours after restarting the pills.

Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) is a 3-month injectable contraceptive, often known as Depo-Provera. It contains 150 mg of progestin, released slowly into the bloodstream for long-term effectiveness.

Progestin-only injectables (POIs) work by inhibiting ovulation, making it harder for the egg to be released. They also thicken cervical mucus, making sperm penetration difficult.

An Intrauterine Device (IUD) is a small, T-shaped device placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy.

The TCu380A IUD is a type of copper IUD. It releases copper ions into the uterus, which prevents sperm from fertilizing an egg.

A TCu380A IUD is effective for up to 12 years after insertion.

IUDs are highly effective, reversible, and convenient. They have no systemic side effects and allow for immediate fertility after removal.

Vasectomy is a permanent male sterilization procedure that involves cutting and sealing the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm.

Vasectomy is highly effective, with a success rate of over 99.9% when performed correctly.

Vasectomy is not immediately effective. It takes about three months and requires a semen check to confirm.

Advantages include high effectiveness, increased sexual enjoyment, and reduced worry about pregnancy. Disadvantages include a lack of immediate effectiveness and the possibility of reversal surgery being complex, expensive, or unavailable.
